does this use the navier stokes equations? How are the ripples generated?

she is 16..not like she skipped out of HS completely

I am of the opinion that instead of spending $10k at a bootcamp, you can learn the coding yourself with books and free information readily available online

at the end of the article he does express some doubt about the thoery

Just trying to get itunes to work on a PC was enough to make me swear off Apple products . Like windows 8, too much clutter and other annoynces

End of science? Hardly. just because we may be in a multiverse doesn't mean we should stop trying to figure out how our particular universe works, and this info may yield insight into the other universes. There is still so much to learn

making money is almost never a problem. Everyone says it is and then the said company blows the doors off expectations . Facebook did it with mobile in 2012 when all the experts said it couldn't be done. Mobile engagement is higher than desktop. Look at amazon and how long wall st. has ignored profits. All the company need to do is flip a switch and the money will pour in, and the users won't leave either, despite all the predictions that they should.

This talk of bubbles reminds me of 2007 when everyone, including all the experts, was certain Facebook was a bubble at a valuation of $15 billion after Microsoft invested; now it's worth $200+ billion. Then in 2012 after Facebook's hugely publicized botched IPO and Nasdaq error, all the experts again said the web 2.0 bubble had burst; the stock price and earnings have since doubled. Unlike the big blowups of Friendster, Myspace, Digg, etc..these post-2008 web 2.0 valuations have proven to be extremely sticky. Pinterest, Twitter, Dropbox, Air B&B, Tinder, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Uber, Instagram...all keep going up with no end in sight, year after year until either IPO (which finally creates volatility) or buyout. There's hardly any big failures or blowups, except perhaps Zynga and Groupon (although it's still worth $5 billion). My prediction is these web 2.0 valuations will keep rising for many years to come because that is the path of least resistance, and the investor demand and user growth for these companies is seemingly unquenchable. The unending web 2.0 boom and unending wrong predictions about its demise show how these 'obvious' parallels to the old tech bubble of 1995-2000 are just so wrong. There's more at play here, such as the investor flight to quality (more money chasing fewer companies), huge user growth, huge monetization potential from smartphone engagement, the very large millennial population that use these services, and ability of these web 2.0 companies to carve out niche dominance and then keep it. Within the next year or two, we're probably going to see Uber being worth $100 billion before IPO, Snaphat $50 billion, Tinder $10 billion, Air B&B $50 billion, etc. Take every valuation and quadruple it. Back in the 90's, $100 million was a big deal; now that's just a rounding error or the equity of just a single early employee. Insane, but very prosperous times we're living in. And it's got a long way to go.

I think they were right to reject it. I have done plenty of math but I still couldn't 'grasp' the significance of the scheme system, and while I'm sure it is very important to the few people who understand it, I doubt the readers of Nature are among them.

The way you improve test scores and increase America's economic competitiveness is to understand that higher IQ students will learn faster and more efficiently than lower IQ ones, and then by grouping the students accordingly. Instead of wasting billions trying to get everyone up to speed, let's devote more resources to those who demonstrate talent, while those who cannot keep up are encouraged to pursue vocational work. Hence, we see that that the problems facing our educational system cannot be lessened by throwing money at it with reckless abandon, but by better understanding human biological differences and how these not only effect learning, but economic outcomes. I don't want to make this a partisan issue, but what we observe is a leftist denial of human cognitive differences and a denial of the significance of these differences as the culprit. Better teachers, new technologies, and new curriculum can only go so far; for progress to really be made we need to stop being in denial of human biology as it pertains to IQ and learn to face these sometimes uncomfortable but inescapable realities head-on.

that is subject to interpretation

In 2014, much like 2014, we saw America only solidify its economic dominance http://greyenlightenment.com/?p=1556

The US dollar and S&P 500 has outperformed all peers

US GDP growth has exceeded nearly all counties, including emerging markets (adjusted for inflation). Meanwhile Russia, EU, Australia, Canada and Japan all having problems due to falling oil and stagnation.

Yields still rock bottom due to huge demand for low yielding debt

America is not just pulling ahead of the rest of the world, it's running circles around it.

I hate to be the bearer of good news, but America, for all its flaws, is still the envy of the world. Its fastest-growing, most innovative tech companies and its most prestigious institutions of higher learning, such as the Ivy League, Caltech and MIT, are inundated with applicants from foreigners. Foreigners also can’t get enough of America’s most expensive real estate, nor can they get enough of America’s low yielding debt. If we really were in a ‘post America’ era as the left insists we are, none of this would be happening.

The US economy has hardly been in a slog, especially compared to the rest of the world. The last quarter of GDP was revised to 5% – the fastest growth since 2003.
